How to tell Asus A8V rev 2?

[Slug]

I have an Asus A8V deluxe mobo. The board has rev 2.00 silkscreened on the PCB. However, Sandra and CPU-Z (both the latest versions) say the board is a rev 1.xx. The board does have the option to lock the AGP/PCI buses in the BIOS.
What gives?

Thanks.

Good question as I have the same board and realized the same thing. Too bad I slipped while attaching my heatsink and my board is now DEAD. I was gonna enjoy the weekend with a new system and will have to wait several days until I

Rev 2.0 doesn't ship with Wi-Fi I believe.

Is the one on newegg.com rev2? Also the main difference in rev2 is the PCI/AGP lock right?

I emailed them that exact question and got this:

Dear xxxx,
Generally, our stock moves so fast that we have the latest version or revision of everything. Unfortunately, we do not have a way to physically get our hands on our most current stock and tell you what revision we have at the moment. Also, we cannot tag a particular item for a particular order. We ship what we have, when we have it, at our discretion. We do not guarantee revision numbers unless it is specifically noted on the description on the website.

Hope this helps.

Well, mine must really be a rev 2 (as the board reads) as I've finally gotten it to 250 MHz HTT. Also, no wi-fi.

I got mine 2 days ago here in UK. Funny thing is that it is Rev2.0 and came bundled WITH Wi-Fi. As far as I know rev 2.0 does not bundle with Wi-Fi. Any1 can shed some light ? other than that works fine.

please help me guys:i also have a a8v asus,in the bios where the 2T command is if im on auto it will go 2t or 1t.....i diabled the 2t command experimenting seeing if it goes to 1t only my test are much higher on cpu and memory testing......but is it really doing 1t?....................1006bios

2nd question if i have rev2 a8v my bios pci lock will show:
agp/pci freq.
agp/pci freq.
66.66/33.33
75.4/37.7

thanks for the help

1) Yes, disable 2T for true 1T command rate. Sandra memory should be well above 5000

2) Mine is definitely a rev 2 as the PCI/AGP locks work correctly. Those are the options mine has.

This makes no sense. Mine says 1.xx in SiSoft and CPU-z, but it says Rev 3.0 in 3DMark '05 detail info page.

I guess it is R 2.0 based on what you guys described (got mine last week).

umm is it just me or are some people talking about different boards...the a8v and the av8? heck i dont know but im pretty sure they are *ahem*the guy above me*ahem*

Rev 2 right there.

 

[arredondo]

I know what it says there, its just other programs reported differently. And guess what, 3DMark '05 reports that I have Rev3.0! Anyway, I just noticed on the POST screen when booting up that it clearly shows Rev 2.0. All worries are gone.

it's on the mobo, btw PCI slots, it should say what rev it is. my newegg from 10 days ago is a Rev2...no wifi.
